TESTIMONIALS FROM TEACHERS
"The programme provided by The School for Young Writers is outstanding. Groups of children with recognized talent in this area are selected to work with the tutors on a comprehensive writing programme. We have seen these children achieve at a higher level, with assessment data to support this analysis."
- Ginnie Warren, St Albans School
"We value this service highly, not only for those students fortunate enough to attend but also for the spin-off effects on other students once these children come back into the classroom."
- Ann Edmundson, St Bernadette's School
"I see a huge need for this type of teaching in our region, where students can be rather insular, so by having an outside facilitator, it provides another avenue to switch students on to writing."
- Joy Baker, Runanga School
